- a dispenser 2 includes a cabinet 4 enclosing a bag-in-box container 6 .
- the cabinet is supported on a base 7 , which may house a refrigeration unit, and has a front door 8 which can be opened on hinges 10 to replace the container 6 .
- the container 6 is supported on a shelf 12 which has a top surface that is angled downwardly to encourage fluid toward a valve 14 .
- the valve 14 is attached to the bag through a collar 16 .
- the valve 14 is a piston-type valve.
- a piston 15 can be lifted to open the valve by upward motion on flanges 20 which extend through the valve body 18 . Fluid flows in a generally downward direction through a spout section 22 of the valve.
- a suitable valve is described in EP 432 070, the entire contents of which is incorporated by reference, and is available from The Vitop Company, Schalbach, France.
- the valve is operated by a pivot actuator assembly.
- the actuator assembly includes a pivot member 24 that has an upper portion 25 for engaging the flanges 20 of the valve 14 and a lower portion 26 adapted to receive a receptacle such as a glass 28 .
- the pivot member rotates (arrows 30 , 32 ) about a pivot location 29 such that the upper portion 25 lifts the flanges 20 thus opening the valve.
- the pivot member 24 is articulated to an actuator body 34 which defines pivot location 29 laterally forward of the valve and positions the actuator spatially with respect to the valve.
- a stirrup 38 extends upwardly from the body 34 to cradle the collar 16 of the bag and to laterally and vertically position the body 18 of the valve relative to the pivot member 24 .
- the actuator body 34 is attached to the cabinet on a subshelf 40 of the cabinet shelf 12 .
- a sealing gasket 31 on the interior of the door 38 seals against the body when the door is closed. As a result, the actuator and the valve are not disturbed when the door 8 of the cabinet is opened.
- the shape of the pivot member and the location of the pivot provide a compact pivoting motion that does not interfere with the cabinet door.
- the upper portion 25 of the pivot member extends generally inwardly toward the valve from the pivot location. As a result the radial motion of the pivot member does not cause significant extension of the pivot member outwardly where it could interfere with the door.
- the actuator body 34 includes a lumen 42 through which beverage can pass.
- the lumen 42 is occupied in this embodiment by a flow tube 44 which defines a beverage flow path from the valve through the actuator body 34 .
- the flow tube 44 prevents fluid splashing into the cabinet and onto the actuator components as beverage emerges from the valve, a problem that can occur with when the fluid is expelled at high pressure, particularly in a gravity fed valve arrangement.
- the tube 44 has a length and diameter sufficient to direct the fluid into a more uniform path toward the receptacle.
- the lumen extends below the cabinet shelf to guide fluid out of the cabinet.
- the tube can be made of polymer which absorbs the lateral energy of the spray as it emerges from the valve.
- the tube 44 may be removeably attachable to the spout section 22 of the valve by pressfitting. In this way the tube can be easily replaced or cleaned, for example, when a beverage container is being replaced.
- the spout section may include adapter nubs which can aid retaining the tube 44 .
- the tube 44 includes a recess 45 into which the nubs are disposed.
- the tube 44 includes a series of vent openings 46 which prevent a slug of beverage from being retained in the tube after the valve has been closed.
- the vent openings 46 are provided in a series retaining wings 48 which extend radially from the tube.
- the retaining wings 48 define a diameter that is greater than the diameter of the lumen 42 through the device body 34 , thus preventing the tube from slipping through the body into the receptacle 28 should the tube become dislodged from the valve.
- the actuator body 34 is preferably a two piece member, having a forward piece 48 and a rearward piece 50 , arranged about the lumen to facilitate loading and cleaning.
- the two pieces can be found with interfitting mating structure to allow the pieces to be slid together or apart without the use of tools, clamps, or fasteners.
- the operator opens the door 8 of the cabinet to remove and replace a container 6 .
- the forward piece 50 of the body is removed, carrying the pivot member 24 .
- the flow tube 44 is slipped from the spout section of the valve and discarded or washed.
- the empty container can then be removed from the cabinet.
- a new container is placed in the cabinet by aligning its collar 18 with the stirrup 38 .
- the flow tube 44 is press fit onto the spout portion of the valve and the front piece 50 of the body 34 carrying the pivot member 24 is reassembled to the back piece 48 .
- the door is closed and the dispenser is ready for use.
